Do you like to add ingredients to your ground burger meat before cooking? If not, you should really consider it. Spicing up your burger before cooking really adds a depth of flavor, especially when using ground chicken or turkey. Beef obviously has a stronger taste to begin with than ground turkey. So using ground white meet truly lends itself to getting creative on the front end. I often do the same preparatory steps with beef too. To make this Enchilada Turkey Burger, the ground turkey was mixed with enchilada sauce. This added a lot of flavor and also created a really moist burger.
Enchilada Turkey Burger
A strong flavored burger is the perfect vessel for the accoutrements in this Mexican style sandwich. The avocados created a creaminess to balance the spiciness of the enchilada sauce. Then, texture was added to the sandwich with the lettuce and the tomatoes. The tomatoes added some acidity. The last accoutrement is my ancho barbecue sauce. This barbecue sauce had a lot of sweetness to it and a little spice. If you are a fan of Mexican food, this Enchilada infused Burger recipe is one to give a try.
